1948 CJ-2A Port Crane, NY **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Was listed at $1600. **SOLD**

“Looking for a project? This 1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A is ready for restoration. It is a ranch Jeep from the midwest, so is in above average condition for 66 years old. I purchased it two years ago with the intention of restoring, but never got around to it. It has been stored inside. The 4 cylinder engine is chained in the back with diesel fuel soaking in the cylinders, so it is ready to rebuild. The original body has some rust on the floors, but is very fixable. It has a clean, solid frame. Transmission, transfer case, and axles are intact. Windshield glass is cracked, and gas tank needs a repair.”

On Friday night Ann and I both decided we were ready to head home, despite the fact there were some things we still wanted to see. But, that’s always the case. You can never see everything, so you have to enjoy what you can see. Here’s our route.

Day 38 – Apr. 26th: Finding Virginia City

• CATEGORIES: Features • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

2014-04-26-virginia-city-oakland-car

I found this tree, decorated with bottles, growing out of this vintage Oakland automobile near Virginia City, Nevada.

Anyone who has met Ann knows that she has a good sense of humor. So, it probably isn’t surprising that she had all sorts of fun teasing me about driving down ‘Virginia Street’ in Reno (one of the main streets) or noting it when we arrived at Virginia City. Yes, Virginia’s name is stamped all over the Washoe Valley! [Ed Note: this is due to the book I released in 2011, Finding Virginia]

2014-04-26-carsoncity-redbluff-map

Our route on Saturday from Carson City to Red Bluff.

On Friday night it rained pretty hard, but by Saturday morning the rain had passed. Relieved at the partly cloudy weather, we ascended Highway 342 to Virginia City, which is in a valley surrounded by mountains. The landscape is pretty bare, except for the metal ghosts of mining operations.

2014-04-26-virginia-city1

Signs just off the road on the way to Virginia City.

We figured that given the cold and the potential rain and snow in Virginia City, there wouldn’t be many people. We hadn’t counted on a Motocross Rally! The town was packed with cars and motor homes. Just a couple of streets down from main street (actually C Street) was the start and finish of the race course. While not great timing for us, it seemed like a really great motorbike event.

2014-04-26-virginia-city2

The town was much busier than we expected.

2014-04-26-tent-city-at-vc-lores

In front of those awnings was the start/finish line for the motocross event.

Virginia City has the largest historic district in the West. The former boomtown is famous for the 1800s Comstock strike, its old west feel, tourism, and ghosts. Anyone who has watched Ghost Adventurers on the Travel Channel knows how much fun they’ve had at this city. The Washoe Club was one of the places they investigated.

2014-04-26-washoe

The place has a wonderfully authentic, old, creaky feel to it. Check out how the water drains pour water onto the street! There was still a little bit of water dribbling from them.

2014-04-26-virginia-city-rain

I thought the Bank of America cash machine positioned underneath this Saloon was pretty funny.
